Many Colours One Race Merdeka

It's Merdeka time and a time reinforce the unity amongst us. We play an important role in educating our children to accept everyone regardless of race, creed or religion.

We hope that every individual would also do the same that is to respect and accept the differences. In the eye of God we are all the same. There isn't such a thing as a superior race, religion or creed. If you feel that people must always follow your ways, then you are just being shallow. Remember that our differences makes our country unique and colourful. I strongly believe that in unity we shall be a strong nation and be able to grow significantly economically. Let us leave our differences behind. Let us live together in harmony. Let us work and play together in harmony. We are 1Malaysians.
"And fight with them until there is no more persecution, and all religions are for Allah" (8:39 Holy Quran).

Tasting the Delicious Samples from Koala's March

It was a fun day with some games for the kids when Koala's March distributed their samples at our school recently. Koala's March is a bite-sized cookie snack with a sweet filling inside. It is in the shape of a koala with a picture of a koala on the outside of the cookie doing various activities. There are various flavors available for the filling, such as honey, cafe latte, and banana. The two most common flavors are strawberry and chocolate. I'm loving the taste as I type this and the kids sure did too.

The Innocence of Children

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT1AaZfhbGA

This video reminds me of the beauty and innocence of a child. Have you ever watched a child play? It is exhausting just to watch as they put every bit of their energy into it. Body and mind. Whirling around, zooming across, building with blocks indoors, colouring, lining up toy cars and "baking" a cake. Whatever it maybe, they do it with all energy and all innocence.

Do we as adults have the right to bottle that energy up inside of that child, to mar that innocence with television? Think about it.

A child sits in front of the TV, never ever having to respond to it, no matter what is seen or heard. And what is seen or heard can so quickly fill that innocent mind with a jumble of information the child cannot even discern to make any sense of. It just lies on top of that innocence like a stifling rubber mat and underneath the innocence lies the energy, which just builds up and up and up and has no way of being released. Not a pretty picture isn't it?

How many children are put in that position every single day over and over again? Is there really any reason to wonder why we have so many "hyperactive "or "ADHD" or "whatever label you may wish to put on them" children today? What other result could there possibly be?
